South Africa’s power tool professionals, installers, and tradespeople—take note. A game-changing tool has landed.

Introducing the DEWALT 18V XR GRABO Suction Lifter—an innovative material-handling solution that’s transforming the way heavy construction materials are lifted, carried, and installed.

Powered by DEWALT’s trusted 18V XR battery system and developed in collaboration with GRABO, the original creators of the electric vacuum lifter, this tool represents one of the most exciting innovations in the power tool market in years.

A New Category of Tool Innovation

While other brand continue to push boundaries in drills, saws, and grinders, DEWALT is currently the only major brand offering a cordless, battery-powered vacuum lifter. This puts the GRABO-powered DEWALT lifter in a class of its own.

This tool is not just an upgrade—it's a whole new way of working. Whether you're handling delicate tiles, installing glass, or lifting slabs of stone or drywall, the DEWALT GRABO brings ergonomics, safety, and convenience into play like never before.

• Early Warning System: Audio-visual alarms notify you if suction drops or battery runs low.
• Ergonomic Design: Anti-slip handle, strap hooks for extra support, and intuitive controls make handling safer and easier.

Ideal For These Applications

Whether on-site or in the workshop, the DEWALT GRABO is a serious upgrade for:

• Glass installation
• Tile and ceramic laying
• Drywall fitting
• Countertop handling
• Stone or concrete slab positioning
• Cabinet or panel placement
• Landscapers lifting pavers
• Any trade requiring safe and efficient material handling

Why It’s a Big Deal in South Africa

The DEWALT DCE590N-XJ is more than just a clever tool—it’s a time-saver, a back-saver, and a precision instrument. In industries where labour costs, safety, and speed matter, it’s a rare case where one tool can impact all three.

And because it's now officially launched in South Africa, DEWALT users can integrate it seamlessly into their 18V XR toolkits—no extra platform needed.

The DEWALT GRABO is a bold step forward. For professionals in tiling, glazing, carpentry, and heavy-duty installation, this isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s a tool that will genuinely change how you work.
